With the recent passing of TV legend Norman Lear, I thought it'd be interesting to spotlight the theme songs for the groundbreaking shows that he created and/or developed:L the Bunkerverse, if you will, of All in the Family and its spinoffs Maude (which, itself, spun off Good Times) and The Jeffersons, as well as Sanford and Son and One Day at a Time.
The themes were written by top-shelf artists such as Quincy Jones (Sanford), Dave Grusin/Alan & Marilyn Bergman (Good Times), Lee Adams/Charles Strouse (All in the Family), and Jeff Barry and Ja'Net Dubois (The Jeffersons). And they're some of the most memorable theme songs of the era and of the medium.

Als wir hier im Theater All About Eve anschauten, schrieb ich, daß ich mir wünschte, es würde mal jemand die Musicalfassung Applause spielen, oder wenigstens das Video restaurieren. Das ist jetzt nicht passiert, aber immerhin hat mal eine freundliche Person eine leidlich ordentliche (zumindest verglichen mit der ganz fürchterlichen, die wir bisher hatten) Kopie der Fernsehverfilmung auf Youtube gestellt. Es ist very 70es, mit herrlich eingängigen und groovigen Melodien von Annie-Komponist Charles Strouse und Lauren Bacall ist natürlich ganz fabelhaft. Wie schon bei Bette Davis hat man allerdings wieder Zweifel dran, daß das Stück mit Eve wirklich besser ist, und noch schöner wäre es wahrscheinlich mit Len Cariou statt seinem Ersatzmann Larry Hagman geworden. Aber wir wollen jetzt mal nicht quengeln, und womöglich restauriert es ja irgendwann doch noch jemand.....

Sam: Hey Brennan, Grant's out for today's Game Changer, can you fill in for him?
Brennan Lee Mulligan, knowing that he is Prometheus and Game Changer is his eagle, but still filled with the desperate need to compete and die on any hill: Hell yeah

I spent many hours designing Scott Pilgrim characters as animals and I had the time of my life.
However, my computer was dying at the same time so I couldn't include Stephen and the twins :( I'm so sorry, I'll design them soon.
